pen drive

[filiperego]

i need to use a pen drive in Demo Linux 3 (it run's from the CD)
The problem is that i don't know how to mount it?
In my "normal" linux box, the pen drive is "represented" by /dev/sda1, in Demo linux i get an error message;
How can i solve this problem

What error message are you getting?

I believe you need to have scsi emulation enabled and the scsi emulation and the required usb modules loaded.

Check to see what modules are loaded.

lsmod (list loaded modules)

Look for

scsi_mod
usb-storage

etc.

Try mounting with

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/<mountpoint>

The problem is the version of my kernel : it's 2.2.18;
is there any possebility of adding modules of another version of the kernel to this one: i want to add usb-storage and scsi-mod;
I'v tried to add from the kernel 2.4.* but it gave me some problems.

You will either need to compile a newer kernel or apply the USB patches to the 2.2.18.

Guess you cannot do either since Demo runs from cd. Is there a more recent version of Demo that has the 2.4 kernel?

There is no new version of demo linux... i think i'll try to find some other version that boots from the cdrom (perhaps virtual linux);

thanks
